Second-Order Effects of a cyber attack

Although OT systems are designed and operated differently than IT systems, their interconnectedness means a cyberattack can bring down not only your supply chain and production lines but also your ancillary business systems (known as Second-Order Effects).

Critical Start Managed Detection and Response (MDR) Services for OT give you the experienced resources you need to stop threat actors from wreaking havoc on your business continuity, finances, and reputation.

Custom alert notifications and escalation workflows ensure that the right personnel are informed of potential threats in a timely manner, and our MOBILESOC® app gives your team the ability to respond to events right from their worksite.
